A compact one-bedroom first-floor apartment with pleasant views over Edgbaston Reservoir and an allocated parking space. The flat is presented in a neutral, low-maintenance style with laminate floors, a fitted kitchen, and good natural light from multiple UPVC windows.
This property suits a cash buyer seeking a convenient inner-city base close to Birmingham City Centre, universities, hospitals and frequent public transport links. The cul-de-sac location and communal lawns give a quieter feel than many city flats, and the communal building offers secure entry.
Buyers should note the short lease (66 years remaining): most mortgage lenders will refuse to lend, so purchase must be cash. There is an annual service charge of £1,476.10 and a ground rent of £100 per year. Heating is electric storage, which can be more expensive than mains gas.
The area is inner-city and classified as deprived with a higher local crime rate; this affects rental demand and resale for some buyers. For a cash investor or owner-occupier prepared for the lease issue, the flat offers straightforward accommodation, easy upkeep and strong local amenities.
